Q:What are the most common wet uses?
by|Sep 22, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hello Wetuses, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. The most common questions we received for wet pick up are usually for flooded basement or for cleaning up ponds. We do occasionally receive customer asking about picking up wet leaves or any type of wet materials. Moreover, when picking up small amounts of liquid (2 - 4 inches (5 - 10 cm) of liquid in the bottom of the drum), the filter may be left in place. When picking up larger amounts of liquid (more than 4 inches (10 cm) of liquid in the bottom of the drum) we recommend that the filter be removed or use the wet foam filter (VF3700/VF7000). If the filter is not removed, it will become saturated and misting may appear in the exhaust. When this happens, take the filter out and let it dry before reinstalling. Note that when picking up large volumes of liquids, the liquid in the drum may reach a predetermined level and the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut-off airflow. This occurs to avoid liquids from entering the power head. When this happens, turn off the vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the drum. Before storage, the filter must be dried to avoid possible mildew and damage to the filter. We recommend that you clean the filter and then let the filter air dry overnight. Make sure that after each cleaning, you check the filter for holes or tears. You will need to replace your filter if it has any damage. Please remember to never leave your wet /dry vac running unattended and to always use your wet/dry vac in accordance with the owner’s manual. If you have additional questions you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you.

            Hello Jason, Thanks for writing a review and we’re sorry to have learned your issues. We would like to know what happened during the warranty process of your vacuum. We do not advice customer to break the vacuum during the warranty process we do require some part or external part of the vacuum to be removed during for the process of warranty when requesting photos of the vacuum. However, those part are removable and can be installed back if properly removed. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com in order for us to check further why the vacuum is not covered. Thanks, RIDGID Ridgid
              Online order arrived with a 1-layer filter
              Placed an online order in early March 2022. The box arrived with a sticker claiming that the 3-layer filter (blue fine dust) had been removed. A 1-layer filter and dust bag were included. Opened the package and found a dirty vacuum with a crushed 1-layer filter. As of 3/8/22, HD advertising on website that this includes the 3-layer filter. I specifically bought this model because I am working with fine dust. False advertisement. Will be returning to store for a refund.

              Hi Lotoro,

              Thanks for the time to write us a review and we're sorry to hear about this. The HD1400 product we are selling presently comes with the standard white filter, VF4000. This is a temporary component change due to COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) mask support. We are temporarily replacing the 3-Layer filter (VF5000) component. Due to raw materials that are normally used in our production of the 3-Layer Fine Dust filter component (VF5000) being redirected for PPE mask manufacturing support, we are unable to provide the filter previously included with this product. We are providing customers with a 1-Layer Filter (VF4000) component and a dust collection bag. Please note the dust collection bag was not typically included with this purchase. The standard filter and dust bag, that have temporarily been provided in the vacuum purchase, will provide a comparable level of filtration when used together. The dust bag will also allow users to capture and dispose of debris. On the other hand, please call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you with the damaged filter. Kindly provide both model and serial number when you call.

              Thanks,
              RIDGID Ridgid

                Wow! This thing really SUCKS!
                In this case, the fact that it sucks is a VERY good thing because it's an incredibly powerful vacuum! I just got it and have already used it to clear a dryer duct of built-up lint and clean up ashes from my pellet grill! This will handle A LOT of jobs!

                  Don't get Hoodwinked
                  Box is deceiving... top panel looks like it has HEPA filter but it's just optional accessories. If you are pushing boxes off the top to read, won't see that. Now spending another $32 Like the MSRP of a car showing items not included... 4 stars, not 5

                    Deceptive Description Wrong Filter
                    Did not contain the Blue VF5000 3 layer fine filter as advertised. Was sent with White 1 layer filter. I am disappointed because the fine filter was what I needed. I need the vacuum, so I don't have time to send back. Now I'm going to have to pay another $25.97 for the VF5000 filter. There was a change notice inside the box, but the change was not mentioned on the website description when I made my purchase. Please change your website description, so others are deceived.

                      Product Management Failures
                      Incredibly poor design and product management oversight to miss these product failures. You can’t remove center mounted attachments in the rear caddie when the optional diffuser (Ridgid model VT2525) is attached on the exhaust port. No one at Ridgid thoroughly tested the redesigned product, they left that to the customers. Other rear caddie end attachments fall out at will, the plastic grabber has no tension memory. And when in my lifetime is someone going to design a shop vac with caster wheels large enough to allow a shop vac to roll over it’s own power cord. Really? The only reason Ridgid added locking tug-a-long hoses was because the hoses pulled out of the shop vac when it stopped short on its own power cord.

                        Check your box first
                        I was pretty excited to buy this today. The box, the display at the store etc. all show the 3 layer filter. Lo and behold they substituted this filter with the cheaper 1 layer filter .....something about covid-19. I should have got what was advertised when I bought this!! This of course is not Home Depot's fault, but something Ridgid should have tagged the box with a bright colored sticker. When grabbing the box off the shelf the sticker on top of the box is not visible. I will say that the 14gal/6hp vac is really nice though. Just disappointed not to receive what was advertised.

                          I am not usually one to provide a product review, but this vacuum (and others like it I have owned) deserve a review. Previously, I owned a similar model that was 5.0 peak horsepower that had plenty of suction. That Ridgid vacuum lasted me 14 years and was working perfectly fine until the hose got against a halogen work light and melted. A replacement hose is $40,I needed a new filter at $18, and this new 6.0-Peak Horse Power Ridgid vacuum was on sale for $89, so it didn't really make financial sense not to get a new one. Anyway, this 14 Gal. 6.0-Peak HP NXT Wet Dry Vacuum really sucks. And, I mean that in the best sense possible. If there is a downfall, the only downfall is that the suction is so powerful that you can't vacuum a throw rug, as it just sucks it right up and you can't drag the wand across it to get the dirt. As a construction tool or around my garage, I doubt I'll really use it for that purpose again and I'm pretty confident that it will suck up anything no larger than about 2" around that I don't want to lean down to pick up. I tested it out on some 3" sheetrock screws (vacuums usually won't suck these right up but they just rattle around in the hose until you turn off the vacuum and they drop out on the floor) and they went right on through into the bucket. I've never been thrilled about the stiffness of the hose, but there is no question of their durability - and I've used mine hard over the years. I highly recommend the 12 gallon 5.0 and 14 gallon 6.0 HP Ridgid products as high quality, durable, and powerful. I did buy the 4 gallon 5.0 peak HP version about a year ago but was really disappointed in that one as it didn't have near the same suction of my old 5.0 HP or this current 6.0 HP. I think because it had both a bag and a filter. I ended up keeping the old 5.0 HP one I had and selling the 4 gallon version at a garage sale. I wouldn't recommend that one if you need serious suction. Anyway, I hope this review helps you to make your buying decision. This is a great tool for serious garage dirt and/or to make a construction site "broom clean" in short order.
